I am not a good judge of when something is going to overwhelm me so much that I become a blubbering idiot. My husband and I listened through your fine essay on MPR, which I sensed very early might be by you.

Best wishes to you; it was a lovely essay, beautifully delivered.

Best wishes to you.

I flipped on the radio just in time last night. Just wanted to voice (write) my appreciation and admiration, it was great. And I love that you could read it aloud, it really humanized the message.

It was fantastic to hear your voice on the radio. Congrats for this milestone. Will they offer periodic spots in the future? You come across to clear, sensible, and coherent.

O, that our national leader could do the same. And have a similar agenda!

I heard you on MPR last night. I respect your sane and compassion-centered views. I just wanted to say how impressed I was with your on air effectiveness. Many of the writers I hear read essays on MPR sound exactly like they are reading from their scripts. Not quite stilted, but portraying a clear if mild discomfort with the medium or the microphone. Anyway, you were a natural.

Abigail, thanks so much for writing that. It feels good to know how society is becoming (slowly) more accepting of gay people. I am having struggles with my youngest child right now, he is 11 and does not want to be with me. I have some talking to do with him, his mother is no help. Maybe I will write to you soon

bless you,
Mike

Hi.. I read your article about how difficult it is to find a Father’s Day card for your other dad. I must say that I find most Hallmark cards are syrupy and trite anyway. Why not get both your fathers a blank card and write your own message? It’ll mean so much more to them than relying on some card writer somewhere to express your feelings.
